The
["CSS router"](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Selectors/Using_the_:target_pseudo-class_in_selectors#picking_a_target)
has always been quite the clever trick for navigating sufficiently small sites.
[This site](https://distro.tube/) uses it to scroll switch pages, and
[portable.fyi](https://portable.fyi/#_) gets clever with visibility `:target`
switching. Do it just right and no one notices unless they "inspect the
elements".
